Health care reporters are inundated with story pitches about new and innovative developments in almost every area: drugs, treatments, insurance plans, long-term care and medical devices. In this free, intensive one-day workshop, medical experts and journalists will help you learn to separate true innovation from shiny objects. You’ll leave with a plan for prioritizing meaningful stories that will help your audience make better decisions about their health care.

Technologies that reduce cost and improve outcomes are the hardest gains to come by, yet they do the most to improve overall quality of life for entire communities. In this session we’ll look at how reporters can evaluate promises of improvement.
